Increase Snapshot Repository Capacity (增加快照存储库容量)窗口将 显示虚拟磁盘属性。将显示快照库虚拟磁盘名称、相关的快照虚拟磁 盘名称、相关的源虚拟磁盘容量和名称、当前容量以及所选快照库虚 拟磁盘的可用容量。如果存在可用容量,则会在 Increase capacity by (增加以下大小的容量)框中显示最大可用空间。

如果磁盘组上不存在可用容量,则在 Increase capacity by (增加以下大 小的容量)微调框中显示的可用空间为 0。必须添加物理磁盘以在磁盘 组上创建可用容量。

4可使用以下某一方法增加快照库虚拟磁盘的容量:

使用快照库虚拟磁盘的磁盘组中的可用容量 - 请转到步骤 5

将未配置的容量或物理磁盘添加至快照库虚拟磁盘的磁盘组

转到步骤 7

5Increase capacity by (增加以下大小的容量)中,输入或选择相应 的容量。

6单击 OK (确定)。

将立即更新 Logical (逻辑)选项卡。容量增大的快照库虚拟磁盘会显 示 Operation in Progress (操作正在进行)状态。此外,快照库虚拟磁 盘会显示其初始容量以及添加的总容量。相关的虚拟磁盘则会显示容 量减少。如果所有可用容量用于增加虚拟磁盘的大小,则从 Logical (逻辑)选项卡删除相关的 Free Capacity (可用容量)节点。

7如果未分配的物理磁盘不可用,则扩展柜中是否有闲置的插槽?

是,有闲置插槽使用初始设置指南中的信息为扩展柜插入新的物 理磁盘。转至步骤 9

不,没有闲置插槽另行安装扩展柜和额外的物理磁盘。使用 RAID 控制器模块以及扩展柜的初始设置指南中的信息。转至步 骤 9

注:添加的物理磁盘的介质类型和接口类型必须与已构成快照库虚拟 磁盘的磁盘组的物理磁盘相同。

8单击 Add Physical Disks (添加物理磁盘)。

注:显示的物理磁盘容量大于或等于磁盘组已使用物理磁盘的容量。

9选择添加单个或两个物理磁盘。

10单击 Add (添加)。

Add Physical Disks (添加物理磁盘)窗口关闭。

配置:高级功能快照虚拟磁盘

MD3620F, MD3600f specifications

Dell's MD3620F and MD3600F storage arrays are designed for businesses seeking dependable, high-performance storage solutions tailored to meet the demands of modern data management. These models offer a blend of scalability, efficiency, and advanced features, making them well-suited for a range of applications, from virtual environments to critical database operations.

One of the primary features of the MD3620F and MD3600F is their support for a hybrid storage architecture. This approach allows organizations to combine flash storage with traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) to optimize performance and cost. The MD3620F focuses heavily on all-flash configurations, delivering exceptional speed and lower latency, ideal for I/O-intensive workloads.

Scalability is another hallmark of these storage solutions. The MD3600F allows users to scale up to 120 drives, providing robust capacity to meet growing data needs. The MD3620F is engineered for environments where data availability and speed are paramount, with support for high IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) and consistent performance under stress.

In terms of data management, both systems integrate with Dell’s proprietary software, which enhances operational efficiency through features like automated tiering. This technology optimizes data placement between different storage types based on access frequency, ensuring that hot data is readily available while reducing costs associated with less critical data.

Reliability is crucial for businesses that depend on their storage systems. The MD3620F and MD3600F come equipped with advanced data protection mechanisms, such as RAID support, which safeguards against data loss, and snapshot capabilities that provide point-in-time copies of data. Moreover, these solutions include hot-swappable components, ensuring minimal downtime for maintenance and repairs.

Connectivity is also a strong suit of these storage arrays. They support multiple connectivity options, including SAS and iSCSI, allowing for flexible integration into existing IT infrastructures. This adaptability enhances their appeal to a wide range of enterprise environments.

In summary, the Dell MD3620F and MD3600F stand out as robust storage solutions with a combination of hybrid and all-flash configurations, scalability, advanced data management tools, and enhanced reliability features. These characteristics make them ideal for organizations looking to enhance their data storage capabilities while maintaining high performance and efficiency.
